That's a really open ended question.

For the most part, yeah it can jump, its a stadium truck. It can't take the beating of a monster truck, but it's not a princess either.

I used to have one and I found it to be a very solid truck. I beat on it very hard and took it off some decsent jumps too. I think I broke 1 or 2 a-arms but that was from running wide open and hitting a post. even the strongest 1/8 truck would break like that. IMHO i think its a great truck for the money. I miss the one I had and I would buy another one.

Ummm.....I would have to disagree with you on that......I have been beating on my Rustler for over 8 years, and have not broken a SINGLE part. About the Fire-Storm, I don't have one, but I have herd very good things about it.

bottoming out is good

i'm most definatly not kidding. it takes away all the stress from shocks and drivetrain. when the truck doesnt bottom out is when you'll break parts
